[mrtg] Re: SNMP monitoring of Windows CPU/Memory/Disk

[Garth Williams]

OK, So I guess I should step in.

There is a fairly good readme with Informant, but no install manual.  You 
simply run the install program, and that's it.  Then, like any other SNMP 
service, you need to load the MIBs (also called compile in other terms), and 
browse the WTCS MIBS.  In some cases, it has been seen that the SNMP service 
needs to be restarted, but it is not SUPPOSED to be a requirement, although 
because SNMP Informant is an MS EXTENSTION agent, this may be the case from 
time to time.  We can't control that, so to be sure, restart the SNMP 
service.

The free Standard version comes with SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 MIBS, so get the ones 
you need (based on your MIB browser/compiler from either the c:\program 
files\snmp informant\standard\mibs\SMIv1 or SMIV2 directory, and away you 
go.  If you have problems, you can post your issues on the SNMP Informant 
support forums accessible from the Support page on snmp-informant.com.

I have been refraining from using this list group if the question is not 
specifically MRTG related. SNMP Informant STD supports Logical Disk, Network 
Interface, Processor, Memory and Objects, so should provide the information 
you seek.  MANY people use it.  I will help you wherever possible.

Thank you very much!
